Casino Review Analysis

August 11, 2017

Let’s face it; there are so many new online casinos popping up that choosing one can be a bit of a problem. This casino has a great selection of games, but this one has some amazing deals. Which one is the best, and which the most likely to provide long term value for money?

After all, one doesn’t want to get stuck with money invested in an online casino that turns out to be less than you hoped for. The money can always be withdrawn, but that normally takes a few days, and it would have been great if the money had been deposited into an online casino that was worth the effort.

Many do the obvious thing and read casino reviews before making any deposits, which is a pretty smart move. Any online casino game player would be wise to do the same. But, there in lies a problem all of its own. What makes a good casino review, and what should you, the consumer, be looking for in a casino review? Let’s have a closer look at how to analyse a casino review for useful information.

Regular Updates

An online casino may seem like it has a great selection right now, which is fine, but one thing to keep in mind is that the world of online casinos is a fast moving one. You may join an online casino today, happy with its selection of great games.

But, stop for a moment and consider just how long a casino can be current before it needs to start updating. If a new slot game comes out tomorrow, how long before it becomes available on a particular online casino website?

When reading a casino review, take note of if any mention is made of the casino being up to date with its selection. This is great. But, also take note of if any mention is made that the casino selection is updated on a regular basis. The latest and greatest games are all good and well today, but will they still be the latest and greatest games in a few months time?

Focus On Customer Support

It can’t be stressed enough how important it is that a casino has reliable customer support. You will sure wish a casino had a 24 hour chat service when something goes wrong, and you’re desperately looking for some help. It must be said that 24 hour a day customer support is not cheap, and many casinos avoid offering such a service as a way to cut costs.

That’s all good and well for them, but certainly not for you when you run into a problem that needs immediate attention. Sending an email and getting a response in two days is just not good enough.

When reading a casino review, take very careful note of what is said about the casino’s customer support centre. Saying that the casino has a customer support centre, as in any email address that offers help, is often an admission that there is nor particularly good customer support. Unless 24 hour a day live customer support is mentioned, assume that the website lacks such a service.

User Platform Compatibility

Some of us like to play on laptops, others on smart phones, and others on tablets. A casino website not optimised for smart phone play is probably not going to be very pleasant, if you’re making use of a smart phone. In fact, it might just be a right royal pain in the backside. For this reason, it is very important to ensure that your preferred play platform has been taken into consideration, especially before putting down any money.

When reading a casino review, look out for mention that your play platform is supported. It is best if the website has designed a smart phone application, in the case of playing on a smart phone. Optimisation for smart phone is good, a dedicated smart phone application is best. And don’t forget that if you have an Android phone and the website only provides an Apple application, it is not going to be much good. Look for mention in reviews that both Android and Apple are supported.

The Obvious

It goes without saying that there are things you, personally, want in an online casino. Not everyone has the same taste in games, and not everyone the same expectations. It also, therefore, goes without saying that you should be making sure those things are present in a casino, via the review.

If you are really just looking to play multiplayer poker, it makes sense to pay attention to mentions of it in the review. But also don’t jump to too many conclusions. Just because a review mentions there is multiplayer poker, it doesn’t mean it will be the best available. A review is, at the very least, a good place to start. If a casino passes the review test, consider giving it a visit.
